“You have a great player in England, who I played golf with, Harry. They perhaps made a mistake when they made him a defensive player. What do I know about soccer?"
“They took the lead, and they took their best player, and they put him on defence. We got to be a little offensive, right? What do I know about coaching"
Harry Kane's individual campaign at FIFA World Cup
Harry Kane enjoyed a stellar individual campaign at the FIFA World Cup 2026, as he was the joint-top goalscorer with teammate Jude Bellingham, scoring six goals and recording one assist in seven outings. It will be interesting to see if Harry would continue to play for England till the 2030 World Cup, as he is currently 32 years old and by the next edition he would be 36.
As of now, Kane hasn't said anything on his international future, as he could be looking to plan his career on a yearly basis. The Bayern Munich star forward would aim for another shot at winning the most prestigious tournament in the sport.
